Former rugby league star Willie Isa joins Chelsea as player support and development officer after successful career.
Chelsea's recent decision to bring in former rugby league star Willie Isa to assist their players has been met with praise from his old coach.
Isa, who recently hung up his boots after a successful career with Super League team Wigan Warriors, has taken on the role of player support and development officer at Stamford Bridge.
The Samoan international, who helped Wigan secure four major trophies in 2024, made the move after 17 years in the rugby league world, playing for clubs like Penrith Panthers, Melbourne Storm, Castleford Tigers, and Widnes Vikings.
